$3 Million a Month 🤯
July 18th, 2025
GM and happy Friday –Matt here, with issue #2 of DePIN Digest!
Last week’s newsletter discussed DePIN’s growth potential, highlighting emerging partnerships, some customer acquisitions, and new releases.
This week, DePIN made even more noise as companies met in DC to educate legislators on the future of infrastructure. 🏛️
According to DePIN Pulse and its new viewing tool, the total market cap skyrocketed past $20 billion as monthly DePIN revenue exceeded $3 million on Solana – perfect timing as the industry gears up for Crypto Week. 🚀
Speaking of timing, DAWN announced a new DePIN multi-miner called the “Black Box” and Helium recently flipped Ethereum in daily user count, just ahead of their token reward halving on August 1st. Meanwhile, Acurast has hit the 100,000 phone milestone! 📱
